Gem Unlocks With Amounts (Spoilers)

[D#]

Island 1: Balista Hermit - 3, Archer Statue - 4, Gryph - 2
Island 2: Elk - 1, Farmer Statue - 1, Stable Hermit - 1
Island 3: War Horse - 2, Baker Hermit - 4, Building Statue - 3, Pony - 1
Island 4: Bear - 3, Lizard - 3, Knight Hermit - 2
Island 5: Unicorn - 4, Knight Statue - 2, Horn Hermit - 3

Looks like you get 4 less gems than needed to unlock everything.

Edit: My opinion on unlocks to get if you have lost gems:

All Hermits, Archer and Builder Statues, Gryph, Unicorn, and possibly Elk for an easier time on island 2. = 26-27 gems . It is also much better to head back to island 1 after island 2 to unlock the Gryph mount and balista hermit, as both are super helpful for the rest of the game (until you get unicorn on 5th)

I believe the intent is to replay it a couple times :)

I'm getting confused, I don't know which island is number 5, can you give me a screenshot?

[Vgamer]

I unlocked all of them.

[Archon]

You don't want the knight statue and you dont need all the mounts tho

[Vgamer]

But can you give me a screenshot of the map with the numbers?

[Zangdaarr]

If you activate the archer statue on island 1, is it giving effects on islands 2/3/4/5 ?

[Vgamer]

If you buy the statue with gems it will appear on every island, that doesn't applies to mounts and hermits though.

[Zangdaarr]

Do we know how much gems are on each island ?

That's a neat idea, I wondered how the game kept the statue active when you left the island it was on.

I'm missing the archer statue, ballista hermit and warhorse and I've cleared 2 islands and explored all islands. How does one get gems after all gem chests are opened? Should I be worried because I read somewhere that gems are limited but I always assumed the chests would respawn.

I lost my crown while I was at island 4 while having gems on my pouch. Do I lose those gems permanently?

To add on to this helpful info here's a rough guide for spending gems early on. This really only applies to islands 1->4 because I think there are lots of things not worth spending gems on (namely, mounts).

Island 1, leave ASAP for island 2. I dont even invest in a banker. On Island 2, grab all gems and again, rush for island 3. On island 2 I only unlock the farm statue in case I get lucky with farm placements later in the game. I dont think the elk or stable hermit are worth buying. I used to get the Elk exclusively but its super important you have 10 gems once you leave island 3, which is only possible if you get every gem and buy the farm statue (on island 2), the baker hermit and building statue (both on island 3). After island 3 I return to Island 1 just because its SO important to get the gryphon and archer statue upgrade. The ballista hermit is also really nice for taking down big greed. After I go back to 1, I try to beef up its defenses a little (for when I return later), and rush for Island 4.

Currently I am on island 4 at day ~42 which gives me about a week to prepare for winter.

Good luck all.
